hi-beams go out and all lights go black
When applying hi-beams they stay on for about 5 min. and then all lights go out. The low beams and all other lights work fine with no issues. Fault light shows a bulb out but traced everything and found no issues on bulbs. Fault light goes out after a minute and does not come on again until after shutdown and start up and then applying light switch. What is the issue? A relay? Headlamp logic control? headlight low/hi-beam switch on column? Please advise driving me batty to find the answer.

The 1993 has a headlight logic unit. I have head others that have had bad solder joints in this unit. Pull it out and disassemble it.
Using a good light and a magnifying glass inspect all the solder joints on the underside of the PCB. Or you could just re-solder all the joints.
Here is a link to the 1993 Electrical Diagrams.

Usually if it flashes fast, that means one bulb is burned out. Some of the US bulbs don't match the European spec (27W vs 21W) and if there is an imbalance front to rear it could cause the fast flash.
I would start by making sure the bulbs are all correct spec and working and go from there.

Maybe see if higher wattage high beam portions have been fitted?

headlamps
Checked out the wattages on headlamps,relays and headlamp control module and found no discrepancies. Took apart headlamp control module and circuit board checked out with no cracks or component failure. could this be a ballast failure from heat? Appreciate the inputs and hope to continue to check out grounds and circuit and find the intermittent problem.Will advise if problem is found. Thanks all.

Welcome to the forum erc1234,
I'm sure the Lucas comment was intended as a joke, perhaps a thicker skin would help?
